1 SmartLinx PROFIBUS and Step 7 Configuring a SmartLinx ready device with a PROFIBUS DP card in a S7-300 or S7-400 PLC Objective: Familiarization with the steps required to configure a SmartLinx device in Step 7 Equipment: SITRANS instrument GSD file SIMATIC STEP 7 ver. 5.2 (SP. 1) MPI/PROFIBUS Interface to PLC Terminal screwdriver PC or Laptop While every effort was made to verify the following information, no warranty of accuracy or usability is expressed or implied. Overview SIMATIC STEP 7 is the Siemens programming software used to set up a S7-300 or S7-400 PLC. This Application Guide discusses the following Running Hardware Config. to set up a network How to import a GSD file and when it is required How to view the data Please note that the configuration of a MultiRanger 100 on a S7-400 PLC is for illustration purposes only. The process is similar for all applicable Siemens SmartLinx-ready products. Required Steps Step 1 - Locating the.gsd file. The.gsd file for SmartLinx is located on the support disk that is shipped with the SmartLinx card. You can also download this support disk from the SmartLinx product page which can be navigated to from The.gsd file is located on the support disk in the \GSD directory. There are two different.gsd files depending on the product: o for AiRanger or SITRANS LU products, use hms-1002.gsd o for all other products, use hms1003.gsd Siemens Milltronics Process Instruments Inc Technology Drive, P.O.

2 Step 2 - Getting into Hardware Config Hardware Config is part of STEP 7 and PCS 7, both used for configuring the network. To run it, you must first run SIMATIC Manager and open a project. 1. Using the left side of the screen, navigate to a position that looks similar to the screen shot below: hardware 2. Double-chick the Hardware in the right window of the screen.

3 Step 3 Importing the GSD file into STEP 7 1. From within Hardware Config, click Options/Install New GSD. Click Station/Close if error message appears 2. If this error messages appears, close the open hardware project by clicking Station/close on the navigation bar. Page 3 of 11 SmartLinx PROFIBUS and STEP 7

4 3. Repeat Step 1 to import the.gsd file and navigate to the.gsd file. MultiRanger file 4. In this example, the MultiRanger.gsd file (hms1003.gsd) is selected. 5. Select Open on the Installation box to install the.gsd file. Page 4 of 11 SmartLinx PROFIBUS and STEP 7

5 Step 4 Adding the device to the network 1. Open the Hardware catalog by clicking on the third from the right (mouse-over will verify). 2. The.gsd file for the MultiRanger is located in /PROFIBUS DP/Additional Field Devices/General/ ANYBUS S PDP. NOTES: Please note that the MultiRanger file is ANYBUS-S PDP. For the AiRanger or SITRANS LU instruments, the.gsd is in the same location, but is called AB-DT-PDP. catalog MultiRanger file location 3. Highlight the PROFIBUS DP network where the MultiRanger is going. Page 5 of 11 SmartLinx PROFIBUS and STEP 7

6 4. Highlight ANYBUS-S PDP and drag it to the required PROFIBUS DP network. Dragging it into the network, opens the Properties Interface box NOTE: Note that the address of the MultiRanger on the PROFIBUS DP network must be known. 5. Place the MultiRanger address at Address 4. (Lab demo only) 6. Highlight the selected PROFIBUS DP network, and then click OK on the Properties dialog box. Page 6 of 11 SmartLinx PROFIBUS and STEP 7

7 Step 5 Configuring the MultiRanger on the network Now that the MultiRanger is on the network, the input and output sizes must be set up. Begin by defining two Universal Modules. 1. Select the Universal Module and drag it to slot 1 of the ANYBUS S PDP rack. Universal Module 2. Double-click the Universal module in slot 1 to open the Properties dialog box. Universal module Page 7 of 11 SmartLinx PROFIBUS and STEP 7

8 1. Define the Universal module as an input module with 42 Words of data and click OK. Define as input module 2. Select another Universal module from the Hardware catalog and drag it to slot 2 of the ANYBUS S PDP rack. 3. Double-click the Universal module in slot 2 to open the Properties dialog box.

9 4. Define the Universal module as an input module with 13 Words of data and click OK. APPLICATION GUIDE Define as input NOTES: The input and output addresses that the software selected for the card will be needed later. Please record. The input and output sizes vary from product to product (and software revision). Please refer to the SmartLinx PROFIBUS DP manual for the details on the correct product sizes to use. Step 6 Download the new configuration 1. Click the Save and Compile. Save and Compile 2. Click the Download to save the new configuration to the PLC. To do this you will have to place the PLC in stop mode. Download NOTE: After the download is complete, do not place the PLC in run mode. Page 9 of 11 SmartLinx PROFIBUS and STEP 7

10 3. Connect the MultiRanger to the network and power the MultiRanger verifying that the network address is set correctly. 4. Place the PLC in RUN mode. The green light on the SmartLinx card will activate. Step 7 Setup a VAT table to view the data 1. From SIMATIC Manager, navigate to the program section of the CPU (see below). Blocks 2. Right-click Blocks and select Insert New Object / Variable Table. Page 10 of 11 SmartLinx PROFIBUS and STEP 7

11 3. Call the new table SmartLinx and add the point IW002 as a Word and an Integer (see below). point Connect 4. Click the Glasses to connect to the PLC and view the data coming in. 5. Go to PROGRAM to place the MultiRanger into simulation mode. 6. Pressing ENTER while you are viewing P920 index 1 updates the values on the VAT table. NOTE: The data block information varies from product to product, please refer to the SmartLinx PROFIBUS DP manual for details on the addresses required for the SmartLinx ready product.
